The Gophers have only two matches to prove they have what it takes to be in the NCAA tournament.
“Every match is critical at this point,” head coach Hugh McCutcheon said.
To start, Minnesota will play Ohio State on the road Wednesday night.
Sophomore middle blocker Paige Tapp said the team is scouting the Buckeyes.
“We have a different strategy for each [team],” Tapp said, “but we know Ohio State has many different lineups, and we just have to be ready for whatever they bring to us.”
